Thu 11 Nov 2009Cork pub loses challenge to lost licence for underage sale
A CORK city pub convicted of allowing drink to be sold to an underage girl, who had produced an age card with a “fuzzy photo” and another person’s passport and driving licence in her effort to gain admission, has lost a High Court challenge to its conviction.
The pub had argued it should be allowed to plead a defence of exercising reasonable care in seeking to ascertain the girl’s age before allowing her on to the premises.
